Denza, BYD's premium brand, has showcased its new electric supercar, the Denza Z, in Beijing. With over 1,000 hp and capable of reaching 100 km/h in under two seconds, this model stands out for its sales strategy: it will arrive in Europe before China. It will be offered in coupe, convertible, and track versions, all with four seats.
Three motors and near-instant charging ⚡
The Denza Z features three electric motors and the new Flash Charging 2.0 technology, which allows recovering up to 97% of the battery in just nine minutes. A figure that puts many current electric vehicles to shame. With this setup, the car promises high-performance capabilities without sacrificing the practicality of a four-seater, although its clearly sporty focus suggests more track use than family trips.
Europe as a luxury guinea pig 🏁
Denza has decided that Europeans will be the first to test its 1,000 hp toy. Perhaps they think that, if something goes wrong, we are more accustomed to paying upfront. Or maybe it's a strategy so that when it arrives in China, local buyers will see it has already survived the German highways. The truth is, with a car that charges 97% in nine minutes, even the coffee at the service station will seem like a short break.
